Interesting read 📚
Founder, Director and Independent Social Care Consultant at Children's Homes Improvement Ltd
Ofsted has published new research into children’s experiences of living in social care settings in England. The research sets out the results from a survey of 6,995 children and young people about settings including children’s homes, foster care and residential special schools. Findings show: nearly all children who responded said they felt safe where they live or stay; 91% reported that they get along with staff or carers ‘always’ or ‘most of the time’; and children living in supported accommodation were least likely to spend time with the people who are important to them.

What is the difference between supervised contact and supported contact? 👉🏻 Supervised contact provides a secure environment where children can spend time with a non-resident parent or other significant family members under the careful observation of trained professionals. This type of contact is essential when there are concerns about the child’s safety or well-being, or when a court mandates supervision. Our staff ensure the child's needs are prioritised, offering a safe and structured setting for family interactions. 👉🏻 Supported contact offers a less formal but still structured environment where children can meet with their non-resident parent or family members. Staff are still present and available to assist and this can take place in the centre or in the community. This type of contact is suitable when there are no significant safety concerns, and the focus is on helping families rebuild relationships and trust in a more relaxed setting.

Unpopular opinion: Social or children services are often portrayed as incompetents and the organisations that fails children the most. Nobody really touches on CAMHS that are one of the most inward, opaque, and egotistical organisations that exist out there, who always hide behind fictitious thresholds to relinquish everything under children services using the ‘this is a social care issue’ umbrella. The unpopular opinion is not about the failures from CAMHS but the obsession that people and organisations have with children services, when children services are actually the only service that respects the statutory duty enshrined in the Working Together Guidance and picks up the pieces from lots of services who can’t tell apart the difference from need and harm. #socialwork #socialservices #childprotection #unpopularopinion

Specialist Emotional Health and Wellbeing Practitioner - Liaison & Diversion Student of Professional Diploma in Hypnotherapy, Counselling & Psychotherapy
Recently gained access to Wakefield Safeguarding Children Partnership platform, and the amount of resources available for practitioners is SO helpful. Due to the nature of the work it is lovely to see so much information included in the Practitioners Self Care section. This is the first time I've seen so much content dedicated solely to professionals; detailing a breakdown of the cognitive, emotional and behavioural changes that can come from working with high risk or highly emotional individuals, and how to tackle this. 👏 #WakefieldCouncil #StopExploitation #Safeguardingchildrenpartnership #Support #Practitioners

Together, we can support #CareExperienced children and young people now and change the care system for the future.
This week is #nationalcareleavers week, and an opportunity for us to pull together and support the #CareExperienced community, raising awareness and advocating for change, now and in the future to come. ❌ Being forced into independent living from the age of 16 - 18 is not okay. ❌ Being sent to live miles away from your family and friends is not okay. ❌ Teenagers being failed each year by the system’s ‘fixation on independence’ often, without the support and guidance they need to prepare for adulthood is not okay. ❌ Creating a situation that can lead to young people leaving care before they are truly ready and being at a greater risk of poverty, mental ill health and homelessness - is not okay. 💜 Our young people deserve much better. 🫶 An often under-supported, and over-looked group, need all of our help, now more than ever to carve change, so they can lead happy, fulfilled lives, and have the same opportunities all our young adults deserve. 📖Read Becomes report and share with you connections. 💜 STAND UP for our care-experienced young people. 🙏Together, we are stronger. If you have questions, want to understand more, or discuss ways you can support, please reach out. Ems x #NCLW #CareExperienced #EndTheCareCliff
❗We're calling on the Government to #EndTheCareCliff, prioritise social housing for young people leaving care and make sure they have the support they need every step of the way to make a positive start to adulthood. Read Max's and other #CareExperienced young people's stories in our new report, 'Support Every Step of the Way': https://lnkd.in/ebmyDsNR #NCLW

Although parents face many challenges, an overwhelming number of parents (82%) report having at least one person they can turn to for day-to-day support with raising children. When parents have support, children thrive. We find that parent support is positively associated with higher child development scores and fewer psychosocial problem behaviors. Policymakers should continue to support public investment in early care and education to make sure Nebraska continues to be a great place to work and raise a family. Check out our most recent technical report and brief with First Five Nebraska on our resources pages: https://lnkd.in/gmBhPVmN
